Jesse Owens raced a horse in Payette, Idaho, on June 3, 1936. This unusual event took place shortly after his historic success at the Berlin Olympics, where he won four gold medals. The race was part of a promotional event, showcasing Owens' speed against a horse named "The Great Race Horse." It drew significant public attention and highlighted Owens' athletic prowess.
Jesse Owens
Owens got the name "Jesse" when a teacher misunderstood his initials, J.C.
Jesse Owens' historic achievements took place during the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. At these games, Owens won four gold medals in track and field events, notably the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4x100 meter relay. His success challenged the prevailing Nazi ideology of racial superiority and made a significant impact on the perception of race in sports.
At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Jesse Owens competed in and won the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump, all against Hitler's so-called 'super race'.
Because Hitler wanted just a race of Arians, but Jesse Owens comes along and destroys that by winning 4 gold medals but the Germans still got the most medals and also one of Hitlers' friends betrayed him but becoming friends with Jesse.
Proving that any race can win the Olympics. He also made Hitler look stupid.
